    Was a little skeptical since the Wii U. But was amazed on the graphics and performance. Great on the go since Zelda takes a lot of time to finish. Now I can go on vacation and play Zelda on the beach. :)

    Was kind of wary of purchasing due to the lack of games, but I was not disappointed with the ones I did buy. The console itself is fast and it’s super awesome you can take it and continue your game on the road. The joy con controllers are cool and easy to use. Can’t wat for the games coming out later in the year, no regrets on purchasing this!

    I own every major console, and while my PS4 is probably my favorite, this is one my wife and I enjoy together.

    My son loves the switch. Switching from the tv to portable is really simple. The graphics are amazing, just below the Xbox one / PS4. However, you buy for the gameplay. (Zelda etc) Online is limited though. One thing to consider - be careful slotting the hand strap to the controller. If you slot it the wrong way, it's difficult to take out.

    I bought this as a gift for my son and granddaughter, something they could play together and bond-ages 34 and 7. (I had done the same thing with my son when he was younger). It was everything I hoped for and more. They have been playing together since Christmas. Hours of endless fun and together time. Great for trips too.

    This Nintendo switch is amazing and it's packaged well. This is an amazing product that I can use for my gaming since I didn't want to buy a big console like a PlayStation or an Xbox therefore I can take this on the go with no trouble. Thank you Best Buy :)

    Interesting new device; It works great for it's games (of course), and it doesn't feel like a cheap toy like the Wii U kind of did.

    Honestly just filling this out for the points. Shipped within a week, everything is working perfectly. No complaints (: It was also super easy to transfer all of my info and saves from my Lite, it ended up only taking about 45 minutes.

    When you get anything at best buy get the protection. My switch started acting up and they switched me straight out for a new one.

    The Switch is possibly Nintendo's best console or handheld ever. The potential is there. The built on this is incredible...so compact, so light, it is really impressive. As a console, the display is terrific. Fast RMX is noticeably clearer than its Wii U counterpart. As a handheld, wow, playing Zelda anywhere is great and allows for more gaming time.

    Why buy the switch lite when you can pay an extra few dollars and also play it on a TV also.
